John Cleese on How to Irritate People Reviews
Mostly killer, some filler, but still worth a watch
First thing to note about this film: There are some sketches that really just don't matter. I'm not really much of a fan of the pre-Dead Parrot car sketch, and the one about the wife and the joke just really doesn't matter. Other than that, though, most of them are great.
Second thing to note about this film: I found it to be an acquired taste. It may take multiple viewings for you to appreciate it. Whether or not you want to take multiple viewings is up to you. It also helps if you have friends who like to quote movie lines...this one has GREAT potential for quoting, and that's really 80% of the value, probably.
All that said, there's some hilarious material here. Obviously "Airline Pilots" is amazingly hysterical, and "Silly Job Interview" is not too far behind. But other gems include the son home for Easter ("It's been so long since we last had you home for Easter." "I was home last Easter, mother." "Yes, but that was 12 months ago, dear..."), the dad who irritates his son enough that he gets the TV, John Cleese thinking of every possible way to get out of his date at the restaurant ("You know what I think? I think you're mad because I made you sit there..."), Mrs. Morris on the quiz show ("I'm 103! Today! And I have over 3,000 children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren!"), the pepperpots at the cinema, ("Who's that?" "Charlton Hitler...") the incredibly long intro to the talk show, and the closing sketch "Topic", a political discussion show where the host prevents all input from the guest (the pike used at the end is AWESOME! I want one!)
I have loaned this to several of my college friends, essentially all of whom have loved it. The filler material (which, because of the length of these sketches, seems endless) is a little bit too much of this video to the extent you'll want to fast-forward at some spots, but what's good is delightful. I definitely recommend it.
HILAROUS!
this movie (Tv special actually) is very good and written very well by Grahm Chapman and John Cleese. the sketches all prove "How to Irritate people" well ofcourse. I espiclly enjoyed the sketch about Air line pilots. It is a sketch about how the Air line pilots on a plane irritate there passengers by saying things like "take your luagage off the top of the plane and put it on the the oppisite side of the plane, but don't un fasion your safety belt!" and the sketch about how a man is forced by his wife to tell a joke that he dosen't want to tell... and he tells it and nobody laughs so he dashes into the kitchen as we hear him beating wife ( I carcked up embarresd about it though). Not everyones cup of tea but i found it funny. The only reason i took of 1 star is because the quality is terrible. besides that, toatally worth the mula!
